Challenge #208 - Double

Welcome to Timeless Tuesday! We've decided to add a little twist to our 5th week double challenges. Timeless Tuesdays will bring you a new color scheme using retired colours paired with a past CC&S sketch. As always, you'll need to use both the color scheme and the sketch on your card to qualify for our weekly winners.

For our first Timeless Tuesday, I thought I'd bring back one of my favorite retired colors: Sage Shadow. I paired the scheme up with a sketch I designed a few years ago: #42.


We've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black) for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.

Here is some inspiration from the design team to get your creative juices flowing:



Our challenge requirements are listed in the Challenge Rules tab. Please read them carefully before linking your card. Happy crafting!


Challenge End Time: 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time/11:00 p.m. London U.K. time Monday, February 6, 2017

Challenge #206 - Colours

Thank you all for joining us in our new schedule. My first set of colors harkened to winter. This set is to help provide some color to what are fairly drab days in my area. I hope you enjoy these rich colors:

Just a reminder - our challenges are for clean and simple styled cards.  We define "clean and simple" as "uncluttered, with white or open space, and minimal layers and embellishments".
